Ideally, when our 95th-percentile hits 65% utilization, we begin the
pricing and planning process and its up on peoples radar. Once the
95th-percentile hits 80-85% we start planning the maintenance and execute
the upgrades. I say ideally, because in a perfect world this would happen
100% of the time.
We try to upgrade when the 95th is at 80-85%, because the 95th-percentiles
is based off 5-min polls, so I am sure traffic is spiking higher at peak
times.
Cheers..
